I do sew, and turning that quilt into a duvet would not be easy unless you wanted to turn the heat all the way down and just leave the top quilted. Other than that, I think it would be a nightmare to un-quilt it.

I know! That IS a cool quilt! Half makes me want to give up the duvet and cover idea, but I have dogs who like to visit us on the bed, and I want to be able to just take the duvet out and wash the cover. Hmmmmm...

Thanks for the insights.

I just searched Ebay for cotton-horses-hunting, and there are some fun fabrics (and one truly AWESOME sweater ) - if you can sew, a duvet cover is very easy to make:

What wonderful input! Thank you all. At the moment I am thinking that sewing a duvet cover could be a nice "blizzard project" for me. I'll start gathering fabrics and then when a blizzard hits and the horses are all snug in the barn, I will hide from the storm in the house and sew away. Now I can look forward to winter! Thanks ya'all!

Try Horse Country. Marion has had several foxhunting bedding sets over the years, more printed than quilted and more classic imagery than artsy/crafty. Call and ask them for what's currently in stock.

Warning, the bedding she carries is very high quality, so it will not be cheap. If she doesn't have a duvet cover (and I know she's had them in the past) it would be far easier to turn two top sheets into a duvet cover than the quilts than have been posted.

PS: is anyone else horrified/dumbfounded at the price of bedding these days? I couldn't find a duvet cover that I liked for less than $350 either!
